Secret No 2: honouring your inspiration

i am participating in the next chapter , reading 12 secrets of highly creative women

artistic inspiration is everywhere: so i take time to absorb what is around me, to really take notice of every little thing - what do i see, what do i hear, what do i feel, what can i touch, what can i smell, what do i dream ...... i don't think about it too much, just allow it all to percolate. art supplies ever ready, my hands take care of the rest.

  1. What a lovely list, and where do you live that there are parrots in the trees? Because I am very jealous!

  4. Nice. Your list is so simple, and yet so creative.
    Sometimes I think I look too hard to be inspired. I like how you find inspiration in these things.

    A blank journal...my favourite.

    Thanks for sharing.

  5. Lovely list and reminder to look, just look at the world around us. Love seeing the sand and the surfboard. Not that i would surf. But i'd love to be lying on the beach in the sun right now. Take care, Suki
